Today at Iten's Acres: Arbor Day April 4, 2012

Planted this year's group of Arbor Day trees (saplings). These are for the next generation. Hope someone that loves beauty gets this place after I'm gone. The old apple tree has finally taken blossoming seriously. The old dogwood is in its glory especially with the redbuds around it. The pond choir is complete: the falsetto of the peepers has been joined full force by the baritones of the bull frogs. Daffodils still blooming; some have just started to bud. Tulips are out in force. The race is on for first iris bloom; looks as if the reigning champion is about to be dethroned for the first time at Iten's Acres by a small orangish yellow newcomer in the Morning Glory bed up front on the Acres.
